TLDR The document reports unique growth lines in a child after Stevens-Johnson syndrome, skin reaction from parsnips and sun in a girl, and itchy skin with xanthomas in a boy with Alagille syndrome.
The document presents three pediatric dermatological cases from a symposium. The first case highlighted the novel finding of growth arrest lines in a child who had recovered from Stevens-Johnson syndrome, marking the first report of such an occurrence. The second case detailed an 11-year-old girl who experienced phytophotodermatitis due to contact with parsnips and subsequent sun exposure, which improved when she avoided parsnips. The third case described an 18-month-old boy with Alagille syndrome who had generalized pruritus and cutaneous xanthomas, conditions associated with his syndrome that may diminish with age or post liver transplantation.
